    It's likely in the fuel tank, so you need to find out how to get to it. Remember to disconnect the negative battery cable first and keep a fire extinguisher handy. Honestly, very few fuel pumps go bad these days, even though people often replace them. When you turn the ignition key to ON, see if you can hear it run. If you suspect there's a fuel issue, be sure to change the fuel filter first and check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail. Only change the pump as a last resort.
